I am guilty of one or two accidental clicks on ads running on my site. The first time it happened was last year, as I was redesigning the layout. As I was examining the results, I accidentally clicked one. I felt terrible about it for a while, and then just made sure to not click my ads. The last time it happened was just a while ago when I noticed what looked like a YouTube video on my site. I thought "I don't remember putting this up..." and clicked the play button. What I didn't realize until later was that it, in fact, was an AdSense advertisement. That made me feel bad, because it earned $1.54. I was going to contact google until I found this "Accidents Happen" blog post. I did search for a solution,because I need to see ad placement and can't just run adblock on my site. That is how I found this Greasemonkey script. It doesn't allow your clicks on Google ads to do anything when the publisher identification number matches yours. Just download and install Greasemonkey, then install the script. Simple fix!
